So you have also the Eco pro things showing up in the Kombi? Like in the pictures attached?

I have read on German Site about the Settings that:

The Sport+ is available just if you have DDC, due to the fact that you can configure the Things in the Sport (non +). And in the + you can deactivate the driving help things also incl. the sport transmission and Sport suspension.

With Eco Pro the:
"Normal" changed to "Comfort"
"Comfort" changed to "Comfort+"
And ECO PRO is New

The appereance of the different modes are in JBBF or IHKA as i know.

No, I don't have those, but I assume that is because I cannot get my DEC switch to go into the ECO PRO mode.

just wonder if EcoPro mode visible (sth Shawn has and I don't) and EcoPro switchable by DEC is written in KOMBI/300C ECO_FDS
I have only FDS_MENUE_TEXT_1 to ..._4 active and ..._5 says Werte=0F while "ECO" should have "06" and "ECO+" should have "07"
Also FDS_MENUE_SIGNAL_5 is "0F" (kein text/reserve) while "modus ECO" is "07"
I have to gain a little more confidence with coding to change in my car but maybe there are brave ones around here
Please note that "06" (SIGNAL) stands for "modus RACE"

What is the Production Date of your Vehicle, and what Production Date did you use in your FA w/ 4U2 added to do your coding with?

ok, thought that marcosg's idea with changing 3 parameters is 'better' option that VO+4U2
i am going to search forum for instruction 'how to back up and restore oryginal VO before scheduled BMW Service visit' I would not like to left big fingerprints on my car electronics

I am not saying to write modified VO to the car. Just modify it, save it to PC, then use it for coding only, but don't write it to the car.

well it seems it is to late for me...
you mean I should code HU_CIC and KOMBI under modified but not programmed (to the car) VO?
how 'car' would know that my 'new' HU_CIC+KOMBI are now for 4U2 equipped car?
anyhow - I try to do it when I wake up

Yes, that is what I mean. When you VO Code, it takes whatever VO (FA) you have activated in E-Sys, and codes the entire module(s) to support those options as they were for that production period as defined in the VO.

Once the modules are coded, the car uses them as coded. It does not compare their as coded state to the VO stored in the car, and automatically recode them based on the cars VO so that they match.

If you already modified your VO and wrote it to your car, all you need to do is change the VO back to the original (remove 4U2, and set original production date), and write that one to the car.

hello again,
i'm not sure if i did it correctly but have a .xml file with added 4u2 and build date changed to 03.2012
i can activate FA so it seems to be ok
i can code modules (did it with kombi and hu_cic)
but... nothing changed - i still have neither ED Info/ EcoPro Tips nor EcoPro or EcoPro+ selection with DEC switch...
how can I determine if new coding data are 'signed' including 4u2 and 03.2012?
does coding 'flash' module or just adds changed data (I had kombi/hu_cic changed before new VO/FA preparation)...
there is also no 2-items engine oil level in vehicle status menu
any clues?

Coding does not flash a module, it just reconfigures its programming using its existing firmware.

In 0312, the oil measurement system chnaged. Since you are using an 0312 production date, when you VO coded HU_CIC it changed OELSTAND_OENS = aktiv. FDL Code this back to nicht_aktiv, and your Oil Measurement screen will be fixed.
